Publisher's summary

An intensely dark, gripping thriller from the bestselling author of My Little Brother

Sometimes your past just won't let go...

As a heatwave grips the country, DS Jenna Morgan is called to a domestic incident at the home of a young family in Ironbridge.

Pregnant Imelda Cheetham-Epstein has been found unconscious by her husband, Zak, with serious head injuries.

When Jenna arrives on the scene, she discovers something even more disturbing – the couple's eleven-month-old son, Joshua, is missing and the race against time begins to find him.

Is this an accident or something more sinister?

Are the two incidents linked?

Or has something in the Cheetham-Epsteins' past caught up with them?

The fourth thrilling instalment in the DS Jenna Morgan series, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter.

Satisfying end to the series

I’ll start by saying this was my least favorite of the DD Jenna Morgan series. I like to be kept guessing and the suspense just wasn’t there. However, it’s well written and wonderfully narrated. The author builds her characters up well. While it wasn’t the best of the 4, I’d still recommend the whole series!

Can’t get enough of DS Morgan!

I’ve been hooked since the first book. Ms. Saxon mixes in enough personal lives of her detectives into a suspenseful story to keep the reader guessing, while routing for our favorite couples and their progress. The characters are so human and flawed and relatable that you can imagine hanging out with them and get a quick cuddle in with Domino while you’re there. I can’t wait for the next book.

love this author

as much as I love this author and her books, in this story it was a little difficult waiting for the main characters to catch up to what became so obvious to the listener. This author does have a way with words and descriptive detail. That makes the stories easy to read and/or listen to and enjoy.

Excellent twist!

This story was great! The twist toward the end was so unexpected, it took awhile to grasp what happened. Couldn’t stop listening!

Always a pleasure!

Always a pleasure to read the goings on of DI Morgan & Co! Was able to guess the twist fairly early on but no less enjoyable.

Predictable.....not much policing/detective work

The "twist" was predicatble..... predictable..... detectives figured nothing out...it all fell into their Laos (neighbor call, suspect putting herself in their path). Would like more interaction with Aiden... heard more about how sour the CPS worker was (and did that add to the story??) and how each character likes their coffee. This was a disappointment and questionably worth a credit.
